The Tiues regrets to learn of the illness of Mrs. Judge DeArmond, who has been saffering for the past week with a severe attack of neural- gia in her head and face which has completely prostrated her. The Butler woolen mills could easily be started up if the proper ef- fort was made by our business men: This mill has the very best machin- ery for spinning and weaving and the looms should be put in motion. There will bo no need of an extra shipment of lime to this city to keep off cholera, if the council keep whale- bone enough in their backs to enforce the ordér to clean up and clear the streets of chicken coops, filth and rubbish. State Treasurer Stephens’ state- ment of the condition of tke treasu- ry for the month of April is as fol- lows: Balance April 1, 1893, $1,694, 967.85; receipts during April $273,- 120.75; disbursements, $340,842.73; balance May Ist, $1,627,245.87. The south wall of the court house is in a dangerous condition and lia- ble to fall at any time when least ex- pected. The Times called attention to its uusafe condition some time ago. We understand the court has authorized an architect to examine it and report at its next meeting the best method to remedy the evil. Oscar Reeder, of Grand River township, spent Friday in the city and called on the Trves. He reports the crop outlook in his neighborhood as being encouraging, and says the early planted corn is coming reg- ular and nicely, but he feared that the later planting would have to be done over again. on the weather, the mumps are in democratic party for state senator | town, good prospects for a big corn from this district. crop and good times are in sight. GOOD SHOES. Do you want them, We want your Shoe trade. We have them. We sell noth- ing but BOOTS and SHOES and are ina position to please you. LARCE STOCK. LARCE VARIETY. BEST QUALITY. LOWEST PRICES, A good elevator at the depot and alive man torun it would provea blessing to the town and farming community. Butler should be the trade center for the farmers of Bates county and the way to make it such is to furnish them with a market for their produce, and pay the top prices. Squire D. G. Newsom, who has been prospecting in Arkansas and southern Missouri for the past two weeks, is home again. He reports plenty of water in Arkansas, and said the low lands in the southern part was covered with water for a distance ot over one hundred miles, caused by the overflow of the Mis- sissippi river.

Butler has one preacher that makes the robin hustle for the early worm. He lives on Ohio street. Thurston Showalter of Rich Hill, brother of Mrs. D. W. Drummond, has accepted a position in the paint shop of D. W. Drummond. A primary election to select a postmaster for Marshall, Mo., will be held in that city May 13. There are five candidates in the tield. | The petition of R. J. Hartwetl and others, presented to the city council Thursday night, requesting that the license on insurance companies be reduced from $21 to $6 was refused. The town would gain a little rev- enue by havinga city weigh meter, and as every little helps these hard times, the city should buy the scales and rent them to the highest bidder. Water connection with the railroad tank at the depot was made Friday, and hereafter the railroad will be furnished with water from a hydrant at the depot instead of the Miami river. A letter from C. B.§ McFarland States that he and R. G. West will spend this week in Galveston, and that Mr. West is so pleased with the country that be is talking of buying asection of land in that vicinity. They are having a splendid time and enjoying good health. If the business men want the streets thoroughly sprinkled this summer and the dust kept down, the proper way to do it is to make a con- tract with the water company. In this way the streets could be thor- oughly saturated twice a day frcm the plugs and the dust kept down. Dr. J. T. Walls was in the city the first of the week shaking hands with his many friends. He was on his way home from Eldorado Springs where he had been witha wealthy patient. Dr. Walls is now located in Portland, Oregon, where he owns a fine drugstore and has a large and paying practice. He is an excellent physician, a clever gentleman and we are glad to know that he is pros- pering. Company B has moved its head- quarters over the storeroom recent- ly vacated by Max Weiner on the east side. They now have splendid quarters, the room being fitted up especially for the convenience of the company. Capt. Clark has fitted up anice office in the front and the floor of the driJl room deadened to avoid noise. Gun racks and an ante room are among the improvements. Frank LaFollett was in the city Saturday. He had just returned from Kansas City, where he had been spending several days having a German silver model made of a chimney flue which he has just re. ceived a patent on. The flue is easily attached to a chimney, adjusts itself to the wind and rain. There is no doubt but that it will prove a success and yield a good patronage for the inventor.

She was taken with severe pains and swelling in her right ankle. Our physician pronounced it a case of beme erysipelas, and her leg swelled up to her body until it looked as if it weald burst. The pain was terrible. The doctor lanced her leg, but it did no good. She lay hovering Between Life and Death for four long months. The swelling broke in three places along the front bone. I mever saw anyoue suffer as she did. In a short time pieces of bone worked out of all four places. The physician said his skill was ex- hausted, and if anything would help her it would be Hood's Sarsaparilla. We Had to Co 20 Miles to Batesville to get it. She was helpless as a babe and suffering greatly. Before she had taken the first bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilia she had improved so much that she could get on the floor, and hop on her well foot. She was soon able to walk withoutevenaecrutch. The swell- ing on her legs has entirely gone down, and All The Sores Have Healed Up. She is now just five years old, and we feel very much indebted to Hood's Sarsaparilis, which has given her back to us in good health. e, hew thankfel E am:” Saran P. Mc CLENNY, Wolf Bayou, Cleburn County, Ark. eee Hooo’s Pris are purely vegetable, and do | ble members of the council. There are several railroads being | built i in this section of the country on paper. If any of the proposed projects prove a reality Butler peo- | should keep a sharp lookout and get in on the ground floor. The city council are working in i | harmony for the best interests of the town and are united in their efforts | to moveall obstructions in the streets and give the town a thorough clean- ing. The street commissioner by order of the council, was after the busi- ness men or. the north, west and south sides of the square Friday, notifying them to clean up the rear of their stores and remove all ob- structions in the streets. Mrs. Nancy J. Wright, wife of the late Judge Foster P. Wright, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Leura Dake, in San Diego, Cal- ifornia, a few days ago. Her death was the result of a fall which broke her hip bone. She will be buried at Jefferson City. By order of the circuit judge a grand jury for the June term of court was not drawn by the county court last week. Ifa grand jury is needed the judge will empanel a special jury. The grand jury system was changed somewhat by the recent legislature, hence the order of the court. The council appointed a commit- tee to investigate and report on Opening up Delaware street. This is a good move, and if satisfactory jarrangements can be made with property owners, the street which will make one of the prettiest in the town, should be opened without de- lay. Gabe in Rich Hill Review is mak- ing a terrible kick on the unequali- ties in this ungrateful world. He says: President Cleveland bumped his head last week and it bled a little and the big newspapers made a great “ado” about it. We cut one finger last week and mashed another, and all we ever heard about it was what | we said ourselves. John Steele is making improve- ments on his residence on Pine street. He is putting in a new foundation and will raise his resi- dence te a full two story. The foundation rock used comes from Dr. Boulware’s quarry south of town. The rock is white sandstone and is the finest building stone to be found in the county. Deacon Bros. & Co., Butler's pop- ular implement dealers, are talking binders to the people this week. One of their leading harvesters is the Deering steel binders, this binder is considered by farmers to be one of the best on the market. It can be taken from field to field as conveniently as a two horse wagon and as harvesting machine it takes front rank. See it before you buy. They also carry ee of hard- ware, groceri war. them.
